LG Nitro HD, white Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket launched by AT&T

As expected, today AT&T launched the LG Nitro HD, its first smartphone to feature an HD (1280 x 720 pixels) display, as well as its third to have LTE connectivity (after the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket and the HTC Vivid).

Although the normal price on contract for the Nitro HD is $249.99, customers in select markets (maybe the ones where LTE services are available?) can get it online here for only $149.99.

The Nitro runs Android 2.3Gingerbread, and it will be updated to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich next year. Other features include: 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 8MP rear camera with 1080p video recording, 4GB of internal memory, and a 16GB MicroSD card pre-installed.

In addition to the LG Nitro HD, today AT&T has also launched the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket in white – which joined the black version that’s been available since November. Like the Nitro, the Skyrocket costs $249.99, or $149.99 in some markets. You can go here (Amazon, $149.99) to buy the white Skyrocket now.
